   while he was in H.S. and he graduated from Joliet East H.S.
--He starred in Tennis there....and won a scholarship to College.
--Daughter Nicole Richie was adopted....is one of his band mate's daughters.
--He is HUGE in Iraq.....Iraqi men get misty-eyed at the mention of his name.

Watch for yourself.....
